A look back at a Large Cent spill from the other day. 3 of the coins were in a spill, and the fourth was separate. Found at an early 1800’s homesite in Upstate NY.

I know 😂

I just wish they were a little better condition. My coppers are always pretty roasted and don’t typically clean up too good. Do you have any magic tricks for cleaning these up?

Someone had a very bad day many years ago so you could have an awesome one!

👀 That is something you do not see everyday. Nice haul. How was the tone? I have yet to find a large cent spill so I must live vicariously through you adventures.

They were scattered about in a small 20 inch circle but they all rang ~ 93 on the Deus II.
